The custom of Buyi folk houses

Buyi people are very particular about building houses. First of all, please ask Mr. Yin and Yang to look at the "Feng Shui" and choose a place near the mountains and waters as the base of the house, not only with his back against the green hills, but also facing the blue peaks. It is best to rely on mountains such as "lying lion and guarding", "green dragon and surrounding protection" and "riding a noble seat"; To the mountain, we should choose such forms as "Two Dragons Grab Treasure", "Double Dragon Play with Beads", "Ten Thousand Horses Return to the Trough" and "Shouxing Gao Zhao". Fortunately, most Buyi areas are limestone mountains, and this kind of Cangshan Cuiling is not difficult to find. When building a house, you should choose an auspicious day. A month before the auspicious day, a carpenter was invited to make a house frame. The auspicious day of erecting a house should be offered to master Lu Ban. The house was erected, and my father-in-law sent me a girder with big flowers tied with red silk, accompanied by a band and a lion dance team firing firecrackers. Song and dance ceremonies and feasts will be held on the Liang. Finally, take the ancestral tablet and the kitchen god (charcoal fire) to the new house. The whole process of building a new house is full of festive and mutual assistance atmosphere in Buyi villages.
